Abstract

A slider system for a profiled bar ( 10.1 ), especially a bar of extruded light metal, which, is provided in predefined cross-sectional system axes (A, B) with an undercut longitudinal groove ( 12 ) on a respective side or at least one outer side having a predefined width (B 1 ). At least one slider profile section ( 20.1 ) is connected to the profiled bar and is able to be displaced in direction of said profiled bar. The invention is characterized in that at least one slider profile ( 20.1 ) having at least one undercut inner longitudinal groove ( 22 ) which is arranged on one of the cross-sectional system axes (A, B) when the slider profile ( 20.1 ) is connected to the profiled bar, and by at least one sliding guide profile ( 14 ) which engages with the longitudinal groove ( 12 ) of the profiled bar ( 10.1 ) and the corresponding opposite inner longitudinal groove ( 12 ) of the slider profile ( 20.1 ) from the rear.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A slide system comprising:
 at least one profiled slide having at least one internal longitudinal groove on the inner side of the profiled slide and at least one external longitudinal groove on the outer side of the profiled slide, wherein when the profiled slide is connected to a profiled bar having at least one longitudinal groove, the profiled slide can be displaced with respect to the profiled bar in the profiled slide longitudinal direction; and 
 at least one profiled sliding guide which engages the at least one longitudinal groove of the profiled bar and the at least one internal longitudinal groove of the profiled slide, 
 wherein the at least one profiled slide is formed in a U-shape and has at least one internal longitudinal groove and at least one external longitudinal groove on each its legs, and 
 wherein the width and the height of the at least one external longitudinal groove of the at least one profiled slide corresponds to the width and the height of the at least one longitudinal groove of the profiled bar. 
 
   
   
     2. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the width and the height of the at least one internal longitudinal groove of the profiled slide is less than the width and the height; of the at least one longitudinal groove of the profiled bar. 
   
   
     3. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the dimensions of internal longitudinal grooves correspond to the dimensions of adjacent external longitudinal grooves. 
   
   
     4. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , wherein at least one further profiled slide is arranged such that it can be displaced longitudinally on the upper side and/or underside of the profiled slide. 
   
   
     5. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the profiled sliding guide has in each of its upper and lower cross-sectional areas, a grooved block contour which engages the at least one longitudinal groove of the profiled bar or the at least one internal or external longitudinal groove of the at least one profiled slide. 
   
   
     6. The slide system as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein a protrusion having a rectangular cross section is located between the upper and lower cross-sectional areas of the profiled sliding guide. 
   
   
     7. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the profiled bar is formed as substantially rectangular-shaped or square-shaped. 
   
   
     8. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the profiled bar is formed as substantially rectangular-shaped or square-shaped, and the at least one U-shaped profiled slide is arranged such that it can be displaced longitudinally on the upper side and/or lower side of the profiled bar. 
   
   
     9. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , further comprising a profiled coupling which couples adjacent profiled slides to one another and can be displaced longitudinally on the profiled bar. 
   
   
     10. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the profiled slide is formed as an extruded metal profiled portion. 
   
   
     11. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that
 the sliding guide profile ( 14 ) is formed of plastic. 
 
   
   
     12. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that
 a combination of L-shaped and/or U-shaped and/or rectangular slide profiles is arranged on the profiled bar ( 10 ). 
 
   
   
     13. The slide system as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that
 the contour, that is to say the width and height, of the internal longitudinal groove of the slide profile corresponds to the contour of the longitudinal groove of the profiled bar.
